Chapter 264 Gu 3 years old
By the time the goose was stewed, it was almost three o'clock. The Shen family was the only one who stayed up late at night to celebrate their granddaughter's (niece's) relationship.
Tonight Liu Pan was even happier than when she married Uncle Shen San. This niece had a boyfriend and even had a big goose to eat in the middle of the night. Who wouldn't be happy about this?
Her eldest niece is getting married, and she has a banquet to attend. More importantly, she can also slap those old women in the face.
She also said that her eldest niece was not worthy of Gu Jiandong. Look, Gu Jiandong confessed his feelings to her eldest niece as soon as he came back. Her eldest niece was also a fierce person. She didn't sleep in the middle of the night, opened the door and said that she wanted to date him.
Of course, the Shen family was more aggressive and stayed up until after one o'clock, just to see if the two children had any progress.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
Uncle Shen brought out a large plate of stew. They couldn't put a lot of vegetables in to stew with the goose.
Potatoes, dried beans, dried vegetables, mushrooms, and vermicelli were all added, and it was a big pot of food full of food.
There are no neighbors next to the Shen family. If there were neighbors, they would be woken up by the aroma of the Shen family's stewed goose meat even when they were sleeping.
Shen Shuyu really felt the warmth of home in this family, and everyone in the family was very good at providing emotional value.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong each took a goose leg and gnawed on it, enjoying the delicious taste.
The potato vermicelli stewed together is also delicious.
This goose was raised at home. Old Mrs. Shen made it very fat. It was full of oil and fat, and Uncle Shen and his family were really satisfied after eating it.
After the whole family finished eating a big goose, they wiped the oil from their mouths and went back to the house to sleep.
After eating, Shen Shuyu felt very sleepy. It was already late at night and she really couldn't bear it if she didn't sleep.
Let’s talk about love at dawn.
"Gu Jiandong, I'm going to sleep."
Gu Jiandong sent her back to the room, covered her with a blanket and said, "Go to sleep."
After helping her close the door, Gu Jiandong also went back to the room.
Shen Shuyu lay on the warm kang and fell asleep in a second, but Gu Jiandong couldn't sleep at all. He was very excited. He practiced military boxing for two hours in the house and then went out to run a long circle around the Shenjiabao Brigade.
After coming back, I hugged the white radish and muttered, "White radish, Shu Yu agreed to date me. Hehe, I have a girlfriend.
White radish, do you know what it feels like to have a partner? Oh, you probably don’t know, because you don’t have one.
White Radish, what kind of clothes should I wear tomorrow? After all, I have a partner now, so I should dress more formally.
White radish..."
Two and a half out of three sentences were about showing off the fact that he had a girlfriend. Bai Luobo was almost annoyed with Gu Jiandong. He drooped his ears and didn't want to listen to Gu Jiandong's nagging at all.
Gu Jiandong still had a lot to say. He pulled up his drooping ears and whispered into Bai Luobo's ear, "Bai Luobo, do you know that when we were little, Shu Yu and I lived in the same compound..."
White Radish: “…” It doesn’t want to know at all. It wants to sleep and have a quiet sleep.
Gu Jiandong held the white radish and kept muttering to himself until dawn before letting it go.
Gu Jiandong hadn't slept all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Seeing that the water tank at home was empty, he went out with a bucket to fetch water. He saw someone and the conversation went like this:
"Jiandong, it's just dawn, why don't you sleep a little longer."
"Uncle, come out for a walk. Yes, Shu Yu is my girlfriend. We got together last night."
"Jiandong, you are such a diligent kid. You come out to fetch water so early."
"Aunt San is up. You've figured it out. Yes, Shu Yu and I are dating."
"Jiandong, aren't you tired after carrying so much water? Take a break."
"Auntie Li, you got up really early today. Hey, you've seen it. Yes, Shu Yu is my girlfriend."
"Jiandong, put the bucket down and come to Uncle Seven's house to have a drink of water."
"No, Uncle Seven, I have to go home quickly, otherwise my boyfriend will be worried if he can't see me anymore."
Everyone: "..."
Half an hour later, the people in Shenjiaba Brigade were in an uproar.
When everyone woke up and heard the news, they felt like the sky had fallen. They all left their homes and came to the threshing ground to discuss the matter.
"I guess I was not fully awake just now. Jiandong greeted me and said he was dating someone, that girl Shuyu!"
"Oh my goodness, I heard that, too."
"Could it be that this child just happened to be smart and was deceived by that girl Shu Yu?"
"I think so. This kid is just smart. How could he know anything? He must have been deceived by this cunning girl."
"What should we do? If Jiandong marries Shuyu, won't he be completely controlled by her in the future?"
"That won't do. How can Jiandong bear such an injustice?"
They just woke up from a nap and found that Jiandong had a girlfriend. Logically speaking, as uncles and aunts, they should be happy that the child had a girlfriend.
But...but this child's partner is this girl Shu Yu, this...isn't this like a flower stuck in cow dung?
To them, Jiandong is a flower and Shuyu is a pile of cow dung.
Everyone wanted to go to the Shen family to persuade the child to think about it more. Thinking of how happy Gu Jiandong was when he said he had a girlfriend, it was as if he wanted to be the son-in-law of the Shen family.
Everyone stopped in their tracks as they were about to go to Shen's house.
"Well, the child likes it, but we can't do anything to break up the couple. They live in the same village, so we should keep an eye on them and prevent Shu Yu from bullying Jian Dong."
"That's right. We can't do anything that will make the children sad."
"That's fine too. If Shu Yu is not good to Jian Dong, let's find him a better one."
Shen Erzhu went to the brigade headquarters to take care of some work. He saw this group of old women gathered together whispering to each other. It looked like they were about to rebel. Shen Erzhu didn't know what to say.
He was sure that if his niece bullied Jiandong in the future, these old women would take turns to scold her and criticize her.
Gu Jiandong had no idea how big a reaction everyone would get when he said he was dating Shen Shuyu.
He filled the water tank at home, rolled up his sleeves and began to make breakfast, including brown sugar steamed cake, millet porridge, and roasted sweet potatoes, all of which were Shen Shuyu's favorites.
After cooking, he started to shovel the snow out of the yard. Knowing that Shen Shuyu liked snowmen, he made two snowmen as tall as him.
By the time Old Lady Shen and the others got up, Gu Jiandong had finished all the housework inside and outside the house. Old Lady Shen and the others didn't have to do anything. They just had to wash their faces and eat.
"Why don't you get some more sleep, kid? Why are you getting up so early?"
Since they don't have to go to work, Grandma Shen and her family usually don't get up until after eight o'clock. When you see that the house is clean outside, you can tell without thinking that they got up very early.
How could they know that Gu Jiandong didn't get up early? He hadn't slept all night. Bai Luobo was so annoyed that he could only have a peaceful sleep at dawn.
